Notes from Copenhagen
The HinduAfter a gap of almost a year, I stepped outside the borders of Sweden for the first time. No, it wasn’t a giant leap, rather I opted for the country next door — Denmark, and its famed capital Copenhagen. Though anyone planning to come to Denmark is required to bring COVID-negative test results or a vaccine pass, there was nobody at the border to check the incoming passengers in the train. “Four years back, when Denmark had implemented border checks to avoid refugees coming in the country, the common man suffered a lot,” said a neighbour, “it was a major loss for the economy for it significantly increased the commute time and many of those who were coming from Sweden to work in Denmark decided not to anymore. Perhaps that’s why they want to loosen the controls this time.” As I stepped outside Copenhagen Central Station, at once I noticed that the situation was fast becoming normal.
